The sixth-ranked Bears (25-2, 15-1), coming off a scare in a two-point win over Oregon State on Sunday, hope to be in position to clinch a tie for the Pac-12 title with perennial champion Stanford in the regular-season finale. Standing in their path will be the Huskies (19-8, 11-5) in the teams' first meeting of the season.
